Sun* has established a global team to promote digital technology and creativity, and operates creative studios to accelerate digitalization across all industries. Through these activities, It has been made clear to us that our stakeholders are expecting us to demonstrate our firm commitment and actions to address issues related to society and the environment.

In 2021, we decided to systemically review the ESG promotion activities we had previously been carrying out rather intuitively. We conducted an overall assessment incorporating stakeholder perspectives to identify materiality themes (material issues) that form the foundation of Sun* to create value in the long term. Through the above process, we have conducted a multifaceted evaluation and identified 10 materiality items in five activity areas: (1) DX and business co-creation, (2) Human resources and teams, (3) Communities, (4) Corporate governance, and (5) Environment.

Through the overall evaluation process mentioned above, we identified 10 Materiality Themes which are categorized into 5 areas, Digital Transformation and Business Co-Creation, Talent & Team, Community, Corporate Governance and Environment. We regard these 5 areas as material activity areas that underpin Sun*'s long-term value creation. Digital Transformation & Business Co-Creation is the value created through Sun*'s Digital Creative Studio itself, Talent & Team and Corporate Governance forms the basis, and Community and Environment are prerequisites for value creation.
